Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

A familiar Uptown property is being eyed for a high-rise development.

Trammell Crow Co. is seeking zoning to build a "vertical mixed-use development" on the Caf Express site at McKinney Avenue and Bowen Street.

The single-floor Dallas restaurant occupies a more than 1-acre tract that's zoned for high-rise office and retail construction.

Crow wants to develop a tower on the corner that would "primarily be multifamily residential, with some ground floor retail and restaurant space," according to filings with the City of Dallas.

The retail would include a new Caf Express to replace the existing building, constructed in 1996.

Crow also plans to include in the project an expanded facility for the McKinney Avenue Transit Authority. The streetcar line would get new trolley barn space, offices and an exhibit area in the building.

Underground parking would serve the tower.

Crow's zoning application does not include request for additional height for the project but is asking for more density in the building.

With land prices soaring in Uptown, developers are increasingly looking at properties occupied by low-rise buildings.

The project would be developed by Crow's High Street Residential - the same firm that's working on a large apartment and retail project on Mockingbird Lane near Love Field.

A number of local car dealers have remodeled their facilities since the economy began improving.

Some of the projects were so-called image upgrades required by manufacturers. Others were done to remain competitive.

One of the largest projects is the approximately $13 million expansion and renovation of Beaverton Toyota-Scion that is nearing completion at 4300 S.W. Murray Blvd. It includes many environmental and customer-friendly features, including LEEDs certification and a comfortable coffee shop and deli in the remodeled waiting area.

Owner Russ Humberston, Jr., notes the environmental features are especially important to buyers of the Toyota Prius hybrid, which is especially popular in the Portland area. A grand opening will soon be scheduled.

The Ron Tonkin Family of Dealerships has remodeled a number of their stores along 122nd Avenue in Portland, including the Chevy and Toyota-Mazda stores. The Chevy store project included the renovation of the iconic Ron Tonkin Chevrolet sign that dates back to 1964, which the franchise moved their from Southwest Barbur Boulevard.

Ron, the company's founder, passed away in January. The company is now run by his sons, Brad and Ed. The Chevy store is managed by Ed's son, Adam.

A Wellington plumber has been fined $4,500 at the Porirua District Court, following investigation in to work carried out in Westport.

In a judgment released today, by the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board (PGDB) it was revealed Michael Guy had been convicted on a total of three charges.

One charge was for carrying out sanitary plumbing in a manner dangerous to life, and two charges were for carrying out sanitary plumbing without authorisation.

Mr Guy pleaded guilty to all three charges of carrying out sanitary plumbing outside the limitations of his authorisation issued by the Board.

Mr Guy failed to ensure that his work was adequately supervised at the two homes in Westport where he carried out the work. His authorisation required him to have a supervisor to test and check the work was done competently and in compliance with the building code.

In each home, he did work on the hot water cylinders including installing a tempering valve onto the open vent line of a hot water cylinder connected to a wetback. The work did not comply with regulatory requirements and was not checked by his supervisor.

Non-compliant work of this nature creates a health and safety risk to the consumer and could result in implosion or explosion and serious injury. In one case the hot water cylinder did implode as a result of the tempering valve installed. Reimbursement to the property owner for the damaged hot water cylinder was made by Mr Guy.

Max Pedersen, Chief Executive of the Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Board, said:

"There are serious health and safety risks associated with sanitary plumbing carried out by a person working outside the limitations of their authorisation. This type of defective plumbing work has the potential to cause injury and serious damage to the home.

All authorised tradespeople are required to carry an authorisation card."

Mystic - Jerry Hayes is a little like an itinerant preacher, traveling the country to inspire the already faithful and maybe convert some doubters.

Hayes, a veteran expert in honey bee health based at Monsanto's St. Louis headquarters, is visiting the company's Mystic office to give a talk today to staff and members of the public about promising work to develop a biological remedy for varroa mites, the parasite that carries numerous viruses to commercial and backyard bee colonies.

The use of chemical pesticides to control varroa mites, first found in this country in 1987, is believed to be one of the main factors in the "perfect storm" of forces causing Colony Collapse Disorder, the name for the phenomena that first began wiping out hives in 2006.

Hayes said he's been giving talks like this at various locations both to educate Monsanto staff and the public about a relatively new line of work going on at the international agricultural products company.

"With the public," he said, "one of my big struggles is that everybody hates Monsanto."

While he will address the often contentious issue of the company's work with genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, if someone in the audience brings it up, the main subject of his talk will be the promising research toward developing a biological control that would enable beekeepers to control varroa mites without using pesticides. Called Remembee, the product, which would enable bees to acquire genetic resistance to the mites, is about five to seven years from being commercially available, he said.

Monsanto took on the project when it acquired the Israeli company Beelogics in 2011, and the technology has potential applications for other crop pest control needs, he said.

"For the Monsanto staff, it's motivating for them to hear that their company is working on improving honey bee health," he said.

"For the public," said Hayes, who was the chief of the apiary section for the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services before joining Monsanto in 2012, "I want them to pause and think about this a little more. The government and the USDA have not been able to do anything" to combat Colony Collapse Disorder but a private corporation may be closing in on a solution.
